Anymous finally broke its silence over our countrys 45th President Donald Trump following his election. The tipping point just may have been the crazy way he attacked both Civil Rights icon John Lewis and sitting (!) CIA Director John Brennan. Stated Trump about John Brennan through his infamous Twitter account recently, Outgoing CIA Chief, John Brennan, blasts Pres-Elect Trump on Russia threat. Does not fully understand. Oh really, couldnt do
much worse just look at Syria (red line), Crimea, Ukraine and the build-up of Russian nukes. Not good! Was this the leaker of Fake News?
Anonymous clearly had enough, and decided to chime about Trump using Twitter handle YourAnonCentral. Stated Anonymous, @realDonaldTrump you have financial and personal ties with Russian mobsters, child traffickers, and money launderers. Later they added, This isnt the 80s any longer, information doesnt vanish, it is all out there. You are going to regret the next 4 years. They continued, We could care less about Democrats attacking you @realDonaldTrump, the fact of the matter is, you are implicated in some really heavy shit.. Added Anonymous, Roy Cohen and your daddy arent here to protect you anymore. Concluded Anonymous, Oh and please tell your interns not to waste money hitting us with your Moldavian bot farm, stay frosty @realDonaldTrump. Do you think Anonymous struck fear into Trumps heart?

I'd love for them to have the power they claim to have to interfere with bullies, but so far I'm not convinced.

(11,119 posts)or benefit to the American people! Have they not been paying any attention these 18-20 months? When it became apparent that the Russians had tapped into DNC e-mails, that would have been their cue to try to even the playing field. Maybe Anonymous could have prevented the hacking of the vote totals in some of the swing states...
But to wait 4 days before the agent/employee of Russia is to take office as the President of the United States to start making threats? Just STFU!

Hey Anonymous, want to do something something worthwhile? Steal the fuckers taxes for the last ten years and publish them. Or, better yet, find some of those Russian tapes (which would then make everything else in that dossier appear more valid) and throw them out there as well.

(6 posts)Anonymous was tripping over itself trying to dig up dirt on "Crooked Hillary" but for some reason didn't concern themselves with the GOP. They are stooges whose hatred for the United States made them willing pawns of Trump, and by extension, Putin. They are not heroes by any stretch.

(7,604 posts)The overall message from the top-down is not to rely on "anonymous" people to do your work for you. There's no Santa Claus, either. Maybe aliens will swoop into the sky and save the planet.
Some of the comments show astonishment that the infamous hacker(s) haven't satisfied our desire for a comic book hero cutting through human limitations and getting the job done. Looks like it's going to be up to hard work and commitment, eh?

they certainly don't have anything against hacking governance. Why the silence? We're they working on contract somewhere else? Did they help elect Trump while taking a break from being anarchists and leading youth into hating governance?

(132 posts)1. Always refer to him asskissing the religious right. He has no known religious views. He is simply licking the behinds of the religious right to keep their support and huge voting bloc. He's had to kiss a lot of tushies to get their votes and to keep on kissing them to maintain it. So let's keep on labeling him as their own special asskisser. I'm sure he'd love that: Trump Asskisser-in-Chief. I'm reluctant to dishonor the august profession of prostitution by calling him just another whore.
2. Change his name: call him Trump-fart instead of Trump since that would more accurately depict how we we view him. Also, isn't that what trumpets do anyway? (no disrespect to musicians intended)

On the flip side we have a well respected Director of the CIA, John Brennan, under attack by a Russian operative, the rump. Those unnamed heroes and heroines on "The Wall" deserve better than insults from an infantile pretender to the throne.

(52,346 posts)We're dealing with state sanctioned cyber attacks and propaganda peddling from a foreign country. Justice and restitution would have been hard enough to achieve, and now impossible since we have a mole president.
We are also dealing with nationalistic Republicans who include useful idiots and useful idiots savants. One just follows blindly, and the others do what they can to play a role where they can find personal rewards.
Yeah, this calls for white hats that can break the rules for all the right reasons.

If Anonymous wants to be helpful then they need to uncover stuff like the details over the secret meeting Cheney had with energy companies or Trump's full tax return for example.
